Cooking with mineral water

Many chefs recommend cooking with mineral water.

Although the importance of a particular water might not be obvious in many recipes, there's one

recipe where good fizzy mineral water does make a difference: in the batter.

Gradually whisk carbonated mineral water into equal amounts of seasoned plain flour and

cornflour until the mix has the consistency of double cream.

Dip the fillets of fish into the batter and deep fry in hot oil (it's hot enough when a drop of batter

sizzles and goes brown) until crisp and golden.
